Two godfathers and two godmothers
are generally appointed at Saxon peasant
christenings, and 1t is customary that one
couple should be old and the other young;
but in oan should a husband and vile
figure as god parents at the same baptism,
Blu each one of the quartet must belong
TO a different family. This is the general
custom, blu in some districts the rule de-
mands two ~godfathers and one godmother
for a boy, two godmothers and one god
father for q girl.
II the parents have lost other children
before, then the infant should not be car
ried out by the door In going to church,
but handed out by the window n brought
back in the same way. 1t should be car
rted by the broadest street, never by mr.
row lanes, else 1t will learn thieving.
Tho godparents must not look round ON
their way to church, and the first person
met by the christening procession will
decide the sex of the next child to be
born-a boy If it be a man.
II WI children are baptized out of the
same water one of them will soon die, and
If several boys are christened successfully
In the same church there will be war in
the land rs soon as they are grown up.
Many girls denote fruitful vintages for
the country when they have attained a
marriageable age.
If the child sleeps during the baptismal
ceremony, h 1t will be pious ard good
tempered, but If it cries 1t will be bad tenn
pcred or unlucky; therefore the first ques-
ton asked by the parents OIL the return
from church is generally, "Was 1t a quiet
baptism s' n IL such has not been the
case the sponsors are apt to conceal the
truth.
In some places the christening process

For the Care of the Eyes.

Keep a shade on your lamp or gas

Avoid all sudden changes between light

Never begin to read, write or sew for
several minutes after coming from dark

Never read by twilight, moonlight or
N cloudy days.
Never read or sew directly in front of
the light, window or door.
1t is best to let the light fall from

Never sleep so that on first awakening

Do not use the eyesight by light so
scant that it requires an effort to dis
criminate.
The moment you are instinctively
prompted to rub your eyes that moment
stop using them.
If the eyelids are glued together on
waking up do not forcibly open them,
but apply saliva with the finger; it is the
speediest dilutant in the world; then
wash your eyes and face il warm water.

A Great Victory
A Terrible Case of scrofuIa
Cured by
Hoods S~arsaparIIIa

I'm the winter Of 1879 1 was attacked with
scrofula In one OF the most aggravating forms.
At one time 1 had no less tina thirteen large
assesses over and around my neck and throat.
continually exuding an offensive mass of
bloody matter disgusting to behold, and
almost intolerable to endure. 1t Is impossible
to FULLY describe my sufferings, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
three years of misery, having been treated by
three physicians, I was worse than ever.
Finally, on the recommendation of W. J..
Huntley, druggist, of Lockport, 1 was induced
to try Hoods ~Sarsaparilla. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
twelve months, the scrofulous eruptions have
entirely ceased, and the assesses nave ali
disappeared, except the unsightly scars, which
are uaily becoming smaller by degrees, and
peautliully less. 1 do not know what it MAY
my case, Hoods Sarsaparilla has proved nm
enective specific indeed. As an evidence Of
my, gratitude 1 send these facts unsolicited.
and L am ready to verify the authenticity OF
thls cure, by personal correspondence With
any one VINO doubts it, CHARLES A. Rob-
ERTs, East Wilson, n. Y.

The Lake Champlain Yacht Club.

The Lake Champlain Yacht club was
successfully launched Monday, under
the most favorable auspices, by large
gathering of prominent gentlemen. Bur
lington had large representation at the
meeting. ST. Adams and other towns in
the State were we'll represented, the dele
CATION from st. Adams being large one
and including Gov Smith, Messrs. Cum.
mngs, Foss, Ranlett, Stranahan and
others.
The meeting was enthusiastic and har-
monious and the complete success of the
club is in no further doubt. Its member.
ship includes men of affairs and energy
and it is likely to become one of the best
known and largest clubs in the country.
Burlington has taken hold of the mat
ter with good deal Of spirit but our citi-
zens have much to do yet. The present
Burlington membership is about 10; il
ought to be 200 before the club house is
built. Burlington will have to take the
labOring oar in the work of the club and
our city will also reap large share of the
glory. Our people should therefore put
a good deal of enthusiasm into it and
make sure that we have our proper share
of the membership and take our fair share
of the responsibility.
The income of the club will come wholly
from memberships. The annual fee is
placed at very small sum. 1t is neces-
sary, therefore, to have large membership
to make the club such success as Bur
lington will wish to have it.
The programme in contemplation is the
immediate erection of a fine club house to
cost about $4,000, and committee has been
appointed for that purpose. This will
make a convenient and pleasant home for
the members and make a headquarters
for all the yachting interest OF Lake
Champlain. This club house will be a
credit to the city. The sailing of regattas
in front of Burlington will be a feature in
the work of the club. These regattas will
bring large numbers of people to the city
and make Burlington prominent yacht
ing centre. Our citizens should fully ap-
preciate their responsibilities in the mat
ter and not require urging to make our
part of the work conspicuous success.

The Bellows Falls Town Hall.

The special town meeting Wednesday
brought out the largest number of voters
seen at any meeting at Bellows Falls for
years. There was considerable discussion
on the motion to dismiss the article rela-
tive to the vote taken at previous meet
ing to ut up room in the town building
for postotfce The vote stood 1856 to III
against dismissal. The articles to put
electric lights into the building and appro-
pirate money to furnish scenery for the
hall were dismissed. The meeting re-
fused to appropriate money for celebrat-
ing the Tooth anniversary of the old town
building. The previous meeting was
legally called and conducted and some of
the most eminent lawyers of the State
have expressed it as their belief that as a
contract the action of the meeting is bind
ing on the town. So the action of Wednes-
day may bring the town into legal COM
plications. The result of the meeting as
II whole leaves the town hall matter in a
peculiar condition. The building under
the contract will be incomplete and I'M
suitable for occupancy, and the town
after expanding 200 is left with little
more than four brick walls on which the
running expenses will be about $4,000
yearly, and less than $1,000 income will be
derived from the entire building. In the
face of this, however, the voters, by 80
majority, refused to eXpend $1,000 more in
putting the building in condition, when
the income would be doubled.
